Neural Style Transfer

CS 319: Computer Vision

Professor: Arman Chopikyan

Students: Yeva Avetisyan, Anush Aghinyan

Neural-Style, also known as Neural-Transfer, enables you to transform an image by combining the content of one image with the artistic style of another.

The process involves three images: an input image, a content image, and a style image. The input image is adjusted to reflect the content of the content-image and the artistic style of the style-image.
